VOLUNTEER at the Fall Arts Festival: Sunday, Sep. 9th from 11am-6pm
Come make art with us! Professional artists conduct free workshops throughout the 30-acre park. Featuring live music, food trucks, dance, free demonstrations & activities such as book binding, sculpting, printmaking, mural painting, pottery wheel, fabric dyeing, art scavenger hunts, walking tours & there are always a few other surprises! Guest artist Peyton Scott Russell will unveil his NEW sculpture and lead a hands-on graffiti painting workshop. Stop by his booth for an opportunity to meet and talk with him about this sculpture! Advanced workshops such as glass blowing, metal casting and blacksmithing are available for a small fee. Soar above the sculptures in a hot air balloon ride, play in the bubbles of the bubble bug, simply walk the quiet paths and view the new sculpture exhibit.
There is something for every age and ability at JSP, and that goes for our volunteers, too! Assist an artist, help kids make life-sized sculptures, welcome people to the festival, and more.

Art Market at Fall Arts Festival Applications DUE JUNE 30
The JSP Fall Arts Festival will celebrate its 9th year in 2018. This hands-on, experiential community art festival enables participants to explore nearly 20 opportunities to make their own art and experiment with a variety of methods and processes through workshops led by professional artists. The Art Market will happen in conjunction with Fall Arts Festival and was created to meet community requests for such an event. What will set this event apart from other festivals is that all artists selling at the Art Market will also be required to conduct some kind of demonstration or mini workshop for festival goers. We see this as an opportunity for you to be able to educate the public and your buyers about your process, methods or materials which will increase your sales and align with the mission of the Fall Arts Festival, which is educational in nature. We expect over 3000 people to attend this year. There will be 10-12 artists in the Art Market this year. More info and application materials HERE.
